ArtPlantae is excited to participate as an exhibitor at the ASBA conference in Pasadena. This year’s conference is hosted by the Botanical Artists Guild of Southern California.
Will you be attending the ASBA conference? Then please stop by our booth. We’d love to meet you! Conference attendees will have the opportunity to view The Botanical Palette: Color for the Botanical Painter by Margaret Stevens and members of The Society of Botanical Artists. They will also have the opportunity to submit questions to SBA artists participating in the current Ask The Artist Q&A.
To date we’ve received questions pertaining to blocking, creating colors by glazing, color choices for reproduction, and more. What do YOU want to know?
Submit questions to asktheartist@artplantae.com now through November 2, 2008.
Written by Margaret Stevens, in association with the Society of Botanical Artists (SBA), this book complements The Art of Botanical Painting (2004) also published by Stevens and the SBA. In their first book, the SBA provided instruction on drawing techniques, colored pencil techniques, watercolor techniques, and gouache painting techniques. Stevens and SBA contributors gave instruction on the painting of fruit, vegetables, and foliage. In their follow-up work, they focus on colors specific to the botanical palette. They give special attention to the following colors: white, yellow, green, blue, purple, red, brown, and black.
